Question

4. Discuss the hardships that the poet has to face being just one inch tall.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school.

The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool.

A crumb of cake would be a feast

And last you seven days at least,

A flea would be a frightening beast

If you were one inch tall.

If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,

And it would take about a month to get down to the store.

A bit of fluff would be your bed,

You'd swing upon a spider's thread,

And wear a thimble on your head

If you were one inch tall.

You'd surface across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum.

You couldn't hug your mama, you'd just have to hug her thumb.

You'd run from people's feet in fright,

To move a pen would take all night,

(This poem took fourteen years to write--'

Cause I'm just one inch tall).

T-title: the title of the poem is ‘One Inch Tall.’ All we can predict from the title is that poet would describe the life of a one-inch-tall man, so the poem will not have much deep meaning.
